Hi, Stacey. This Chromebook is not compatible with Blender, as the software is intended for Windows, Mac, and Linux based devices and this IdeaPad Slim 3 runs ChromeOS operating system. Here's a link to the Blender software system requirements listed on their website:(https://www.blender.org/download/requirements/). We recommend reviewing the system requirements detailed on the previously linked webpage, then comparing it with the specifications this any computer you’re interested in to help ensure you find the right fit for your son. For example, while not aligning exactly with the Blender recommended requirements, but exceeding the minimum requirements, this IdeaPad on Best Buy's site (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-ideapad-1-15-fhd-laptop-ryzen-5-7520u-16gb-memory-with-256gb-ssd-storage-abyss-blue/6588662.p?skuId=6588662) should run the software. More premium devices like our Yoga 7i series can also run the software with a brighter, clearer display, a slim, metal chassis, and 2-in-1 design for flexible application (you can view one of the models here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-yoga-7-2-in-1-16-2k-touchscreen-laptop-amd-ryzen-5-8640hs-with-8gb-memory-512gb-ssd-artic-grey/6571370.p?skuId=6571370)). Hopefully this helps and please feel free to share any other questions you may have about our products!
